Traumatic Brain Injury In Children And Adolescents - Part 2: Moderate To Severe TBI

Course overview

This course covers essential information about moderate to severe TBI in infants (e.g., shaken baby syndrome), children and adolescents that is based on the latest research from medical, rehabilitation, and speech-language pathology literature. The course covers both closed and open TBIs, including shaken baby syndrome [64% of shaken babies demonstrate speech, language, and cognitive deficits] and war wounds. Numerous topics are discussed, including the unique aspects of moderate-severe TBI and SLP assessments and treatment (early-stage, middle stage, and late stage [return to school]). The emotional and social effects of TBI on quality of life are discussed, as well as the long-term effects of TBI.
